My Night With Reg is "the most artificial and the truest, the funniest and most searing play to be found anywhere on the London stage" writes Dominic Cavendish in The Telegraph. Rising star Robert Hastie directs an "exquisitely nuanced production", the first major revival of Kevin Elyot's Olivier and Evening Standard award-winning comedy in two decades. This is a "sharply witty and humanely wise drama about gay manners and morals in the age of Aids" according to The Independent review of 1994, when the play was first staged at the Theatre Upstairs, Royal Court. The plot centres on Guy who is hosting a party for new friends and old alike during the summer of 1985, but the world as Guy et al see it, is going to change forever. This "modern classic" transfers to the Apollo following a highly succesfully run at the Donmar Warehouse.

The first West End theatre of the Edwardian Age, the Apollo has a pleasingly over-the-top design that takes in facades, statuary, and a gypsy coat-of-arms that was intended to bring good luck. Vertigo sufferers may wish to know that the balcony at the Apollo is said to be the highest in London, a design that was intended to improve the acoustic for musicals. More about Apollo Theatre
